Abstract
Abstract A heatable drawroll for drawtwisting, draw-winding and spin-draw winding machines includes a stationary induction heating coil having a core and mounted within rotatable metal jacket. A sleeve of heat and electrical insulating material is stationarily disposed inside the jacket in radially spaced relation to the jacket and the coil to circumferentially surround the coil and form an intermediate space therewith for receiving a coolant for cooling the coil. Means are provided for supplying coolant to and removing coolant from the intermediate space. A second coolant space can also be formed between the coil and the core and be connected with the first space via coolant ducts through the coil. The sleeve may be porous so as to allow some of the coolant to flow therethrough and impinge on the inner surface of the jacket.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A heatable drawroll for drawtwisting, draw-winding and spin-draw winding machines comprising a rotatable jacket, a stationary inductive heating means mounted inside said jacket for heating said jacket, said heating means including a coolable induction coil, a sleeve of heat and electrically insulating material stationarily disposed inside said jacket in radially spaced relation to said jacket and said coil to circumferentially surround said coil and form an intermediate space therewith for receiving a coolant, and means for supplying coolant to and removing coolant from said space.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
85 words
A heatable drawroll as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sleeve further comprises a pair of discs of heat and electrical insulating material, each said disc being disposed at a respective end of said sleeve in supporting relation, at least one of said discs having a supply opening for the introduction of coolant into said space and at least one of said discs having a drain opening for removal of coolant, said sleeve and said discs defining together with said coil said intermediate space.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
